Equal Respect for All — Live Like Yogananda (Class 9)

The masters’ perception of people is beyond just deciding to treat everyone respectfully—it is the difference between right behavior and an elevated consciousness. We can make a decision of how we want to be, discipline ourselves, and eventually this can become a shift in consciousness. Master simply perceived everyone, all sentient beings, as vibrations of energy on the spectrum from complete ego consciousness to freedom in God. He was beyond needing to decide what is appropriate, seeing himself solely as Divine Mother’s instrument. We too can train ourselves to live at our point of origin and to perceive the unity in diversity, with equal respect for all.
